Sound Off: Don't open the range

I'm calling because I can't believe that the Green Island Village Board would even consider putting a fire arm range in our beautiful village. I am appalled.

Just wondering

Did the Troy Fire Department and the City of Troy lie to the taxpayers? Last year the city purchased two aerial ladders for the Fire Department, stating the 1991 aerial could no longer pass inspection. But they made an $800,000 purchase when purchasing the new aerials. Now they took the 1986 aerial and getting rid of it and are putting the 1991 back in service. As far as I know, once they are taken out of service, they cannot be returned.

He's my guy

I am in Tedesco's corner.

He forgot

The mayor of Watervliet forgot to mention high assessments and taxes, absentee landlords and lawsuits against the city when he talked to the high school students.
